Hybernating

I am in hibernation...haven't been on in quite a while. Just wanted to let everyone know I am okay, just needing a lot of solitude, even on the web. On the downside, my shingles have come back. I think it could possibly be what is going on, why I have been feeling so blah...shingles emerge when your immune system is compromised and this is 2 episodes in about 3 months...apparently the shingles virus has been fighting to reemerge and my body has been fighting it as hard as it could as long as it could which left me feeling very fatigued and just not very good. However, on the Brightside this episode seems to be a milder one than last time so hopefully my immune system is strengthening. I don't exactly live a healthy lifestyle and my diet is atrocious...unfortunately the worse I feel the more I want to sleep or lay on the couch and watch t.v. when I know a walk would do wonders for me...sigh...

I so understand what you are saying! Thank you for letting us know you are okay. I have been wondering. Loving care during this time as I know how tender these times can be. When you don\'t feel well physically, the emotional side goes down too and vice versa.
Sending you lots of love,

Ooooh, shingles are so painful. My mother and my son both had them. So sorry for your poor health and rotten diet. Isolating can be depressing. Take care and try to remember doing something you loved from before and try to do it again. Joy awaits you. Love, Abby

I am so sorry about your shingles. I\'m glad this episode is not as severe. I hope you feel better soon.
Sometimes we just need to cocoon. Your body lets you know when it is time to give it a rest. Thanks for popping in to let us know you are okay.
Take care of yourself.
Love and tight hugs, M

Gentle care dearest Gina and you are doing what you need to for now. Even just a few steps to the mailbox and around the block can be a beginning and if you are feeling the nudge and it is not too painful to walk, perhaps give it a go.

Loving care and cocooning is what we each do when we heed the call. Keep listening to your inner guidance as you are.

Oh my!!! Shingles are so painful! I am sorry you are dealing with a second outbreak. I would love to do nothing, but stay in bed, but my back starts hurting and makes me get up :(
